Why is it that the default response is to lie?
Revisado: 11-13-23
First off, I could listen to Amanda Ronconi read a phone book and be entertained. Getting that out of the way and that I am not a woman, so maybe this makes more sense to women, but why in any given situation of even the slightest bit of difficulty is the main character's default response to lie? Half the book seems to be her lying, feeling guilty about lying, and additional lying to cover the first lies. Granted, I guess it would only be one book if the MC just told the truth, but its kind of cringe inducing when it happens over and over.

Historia
They hunt us. They bomb our worlds for target practice. A star cluster in the constellation of Orion rotates once every 1,000 years. Those who rule there have an ancient tradition: When each cycle ends, they train their fleets by spilling the blood of lesser beings. The enemy fleets are coming again. In response, the Rebel Worlds gather their starships to face the terrifying threat, and this time humanity is asked to stand with them. The last time they considered Earth, Vikings in longboats were raiding English coastlines. Today, we're less primitive. Today, we're a target.

Nothing makes sense except in the authors mind.
Revisado: 11-13-23
The "Decision made for no other reason than plot advancement" is strong with this one. The revile of information to the reader/MC is always right at the moment its needed for plot. The world building is weak, and makes little sense from even a pure resource point of view, although the author tries to justify it "logically", he would have done better just saying it was alien. Lets have a fleet spend weeks recruiting from a backwards world, just to have one crew to pilot one 1000 year-old vessel that is more trouble to field than its worth to the battle. Also, after said aliens have tortured and murdered humans by the hundreds, lets also have said crew take the aliens word for it that they are the good guys. None of it made any sense. You could explain away the aliens, but the humans responses could have only made sense in the author's mind. There were several places where the cringe was so heavy I just had to fast-forward.

Historia
Digby Graves has returned to Las Vegas with a taste for revenge. After giving up his soul in exchange for the power to build an army, he and his crew of misfits begin to realize that he might have made a mistake. Who would have thought having a soul would be important, right? With a looming war on the horizon, there's no time for Digby to dwell on what he’s lost. The Autem Empire has been preparing its conquest for decades and is already close to seizing control.

Not as good, but not bad
Revisado: 09-13-23
If I have one gripe, its clear that the author never read Atlas Shrugged, the idea that it would be the book a Bancroft would carry is about as believable as a slave trader having a copy of Uncle Tom's Cabin. Digby's philosophy on life is a lot closer to Ragnar and Galt's than it is to Taggart or Mouch's. I will admit laughing at the author's representation of union, its was the perfect allegory even down to arguing for more benefits while its own existence in was in danger, then only doing the bare minimum to survive.

Historia
Gabriel Delling might call himself a professional con artist, but when walking superstitions start trying to bite his face off, his charm is shockingly unhelpful. It turns out living nightmares almost never appreciate a good joke. Together with a succubus who insists on constantly saving his life, Gabe desperately tries to survive a new reality that suddenly features demons, legends, and a giant locust named Dale - all of whom pretty much hate his guts. And when an ancient horror comes hunting for a spirit locked in his head, Gabe finds himself faced with the excruciating choice between death...or becoming some kind of freaking hero.

Pretty good story almost no plot contrivance
Revisado: 08-31-23
I enjoyed the world building and story. The MC was a little slow on the up take of the world he found himself in, but other than that, the story fit together very well. There was little in the way of stupid decisions to force the story along, and both the MC and the antagonists all made determinations that were for the most part logical and reasoned. The story suffers a bit from a Scooby-Doo got ya moment in the end, but was still a solid attempt and I look forward to reading the next installment.

After returning from the basajaunak lands, it's clear that Jessie and her crew need to find an alliance quickly. They need to head to Kingsley's in less than a couple of months. If they go as they are, they'll never be enough to save Austin's brother from total annihilation. Luckily, Jessie has a pile of connection requests waiting for her attention. The gargoyle cairns want to meet her. She has an opportunity to gain a little help. Unluckily, the cairns don't have much interest beyond meeting the new kid on the block.

Revisado: 07-15-23
At this point, we know the main characters, we know the dynamics, yes, new challenges are appearing, but the characters are interacting and solving them. If you have enjoyed the first six books as much as I have, this story was basically, slightly guilt-inducing comfort food.

Historia
Throughout the Kingdom, Defenders constantly fight against incursions of dungeon monsters rampaging over the border the Kingdom shares with the Wildlands. To keep the danger to their citizens low, they periodically sweep through these untamed areas filled with natural beasts and roaming dungeon monsters, destroying as many Dungeon Cores as they can find. Tempara was practically a newborn when Defenders from the Kingdom snatched her away, only to be forced to watch in horror as tragedy fell upon the rest of her pack.

This was a good start.
Revisado: 07-15-23
Having been inundated with books where nominally intelligent protagonists who make completely unexplainable and illogical decisions when the plot demands it, this story was a breath of fresh air. The protagonist, while making many mistakes, never makes them in such a fashion as to appear "random stupid decision to advance plot", that is to say, everything done is thought out, and when mistakes occur, they are analyzed, and corrected for rationally. Likewise, the antagonists are shown as rational beings, who while making mistakes themselves, are never shown to be either chaotic evil, nor stupid.

They came to Earth for one thing - to find mates. These hot alpha aliens will keep you company all night long. This is a collection of five steamy stand-alone science-fiction romance novels. No cliff-hangers, no cheating, and plenty of steam.

The stupidity, it burns.
Revisado: 03-09-23
First off, I tend to like sappy romance stories with a supernatural/sci-fi twist. But the decisions of the main characters and incongruity in the world building aspects of this set of stories is just a level of stupid that shouldn't exist, and routinely pulled me out of the story for minutes at time while I just contemplated if the book editor was a 5 year old with ADHD.

Historia
Scarlet Sanderson isn't a paranormal being per se, but she's no stranger to things that go bump in the night. She's had the ability to see and speak with ghosts since she was eight years old. Whether it's a gift or a curse is still up for debate. She moved to the picturesque town of Beechwood Harbor to open a flower shop and start a new life after years of being a nomad. What she didn't expect to find was a town filled with witches, vampires, shape-shifters, and ghosts. So, so many ghosts.

The stupid, it burns.
Revisado: 06-15-22
The main character acts like she was written by a bipolar teenage girl. Randomly run out of restaurant, lie to boy friend, lie to cops, lie to friends, lie to ghosts, compound stupid mistakes for plot, ignore obvious clues, walk alone in New Orleans after mid night, and break into a crime scene, sure, why not. On the plus side, Amanda Ronconi is as great as ever, just wish she had better material to work with.

Some good ideas, poorly executed.
Revisado: 02-01-22
Overall, not the worst book I ever listened to, but no where near the best. I thought the plot was good, and the magic mixed with sci-fi elements was good. Other than that, the character development/interaction/dialogue was bad. The narration was iffy. Added up, I don't want to flame this book, but I am also not going any farther in the series.

Historia
Every year, the empire administers the rite of passage into adulthood. That rite serves to identify those blessed by Aether to become magi. The new magi are shipped to the academy to learn the arts of magic. The academy is a dangerous place; the tournaments held twice each year can cripple or kill the students, and the clans of the empire will go to great lengths to recruit the students they want. Gregory had one dream: to become a magi like the legends of old. Though he was ridiculed by the residents of the village and his unsupportive father, he never wavered from his dream.
